Signification
A reasonable and rational way of dealing with a situation or problem.
Contexte culturel
In Iranian business culture, 'barkhord-e manteqi' is often contrasted with 'party-bazi' (nepotism). It signals that you want to be treated based on your merits. In Dari, the phrase is also used, but 'manteqi' can sometimes carry a heavier weight of 'religious or traditional logic.' Tajik speakers might use 'muomila' instead of 'barkhord' in casual speech, but 'barkhord-e manteqi' remains the formal standard. Second-generation Iranians in the West often use this phrase to describe the 'cultural clash' between their parents' emotional expectations and their own Westernized logical approach.
